Release Notes

● Windows operating systems support both the manual and unattended installation features. However, Lifecycle Controller
supports the unattended installation feature for Windows and RHEL-7 operating systems only.
● VLAN Configuration is not supported on all vendor FC cards and the following Emulex cards.
○ Emulex OneConnect OCe14102-U1-D 2-port PCle 10 GbE CNA
○ Emulex OneConnect OCm14104-U1-D 4-port 10 GbE rNDC CNA
○ Emulex OneConnect OCm14102-U5-D 2-port 10 GbE Mezz CNA
○ Emulex OneConnect OCm14102-U4-D 2-port 10 GbE bNDC CNA
○ Emulex OneConnect OCe14102-N1-D 2-port PCle 10 GbE NIC
○ Emulex OneConnect OCm14104-N1-D 4-port 10 GbE rNDC CNA
○ Emulex OneConnect OCm14102-N5-D 2-port 10 GbE Mezz CNA
○
Emulex OneConnect OCm14102-N6-D 2-port 10 GbE bNDC CNA
● LC may display multiple drive names for some CDs or DVDs, such as the ones containing operating systems.
● Network operations such as Update, Export, or Import may take more time than expected. The delay may occur because the
source or destination share is not reachable or does not exist, or due to other network issues.
● If the operating system selected for installation and the operating system on the media that are used are different, LC
displays a warning message. However, while installing Windows operating system, the warning message appears only when
the bit count (x86 or x64) of the operating system does not match. For example, if Windows Server 2008 x64 is selected for
installation and Windows Server 2008 x86 media is used, the warning is displayed.
● LC does not support operating system deployment on Dell Precision Workstation R7920.
● When NPAR is enabled, the port numbers that are displayed on the LC Network Settings page (Settings > Network
Settings) do not match the port numbers that are displayed on the Device Settings page (System Setup > Advanced
Hardware Configuration > Device Settings).
● Lifecycle Controller supports operating system deployment on bootable devices (systems without a RAID controller) in the
BIOS mode only.
● In the Spanish help page, the word encrypted is incorrectly translated as scripted in Step 3 operating system deployment.
● Operating system installation might fail if the server has only PCle NVMe SSD drives and if you have selected BIOS as boot
mode. If server has both RAID and non-RAID hard disks (NVMe SSD), it displays the RAID configuration option. However,
the non-RAID disks are not displayed on RAID configuration page.
● When you update the firmware on a Broadcom NetXtreme and QLogic BCM57xx and BCM57xxx (previously known as
Broadcom NetXtreme ||) adapters, the following issue occurs: After installing the QLogic-specific firmware update package
on the BCM57xx or BCM57xxx adapter family, the rollback version is not available if the previously installed firmware was
provided by a legacy shared firmware update package. However, if the legacy shared firmware version is available as a
rollback version for the Broadcom NetXtreme adapter, then the same version is available for the QLogic BCM57xx and
BCM57xxx adapters.
The issue occurs because separate firmware update packages are provided for the Broadcom NetXtreme adapters and
QLogic BCM57xx and BCM57xxx adapters due to the acquisition of the Broadcom NetXtreme || cards by QLogic. Prior to
the acquisition, a common shared firmware update package was provided.
● The following Intel cards do not support firmware rollback and may not display all the ports on the Comparison page while
updating the firmware:
○ Intel Ethernet Converged Network Adapter X710 - Quad Port
○ Intel Ethernet Converged Network Adapter X710 - Dual Port
○ Intel Ethernet Converged Network Adapter XL710
○ Intel Ethernet 10G 4P X710/1350 rNDC
○ Intel Ethernet 10G 4P X710 SFP + rNDC
○ Intel Ethernet 10G 4P X710-k bNDC
○ Intel Ethernet 10G 2P X710-k bNDC
○ Intel Ethernet 40G 2P XL710 QSFP + rNDC
○ Intel Gigabit I350-t LOM
○ Intel Ethernet 10G X520 LOM
○ Intel Ethernet 10G 2P X550-t Adapter
● While installing the operating system on the previous generation PowerEdge servers by using LC UI, ensure that the virtual
media is attached on the server before BIOS boot.
● On NANO operating system, you cannot install a firmware or driver DUP if it is in .exe format.
● During the RAID Configuration, on the Step 3 of 5: Select Physical Disk page, the scroll bar of Select Physical Pool table is
not displayed. To view the scroll bar:
○ Hover your mouse pointer over the right edge of the table.
○ Press Tab until the table is selected.
This issue is observed when you select the RAID level as 0, 5, 6, 10, 50, or 60.
